Victoria grid · community impact

Based on last week's Victoria grid mix (avg 980 gCO₂/kWh), Rowville's 1,193 solar systems typically avoid around 8.94 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Grid intensity data: Open Electricity (openelectricity.org.au) · 7-day average · updates monthly

Rowville ranks 221st in Victoria for solar installations — in the middle tier of 713 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. New installations eased in the past 12 months (70 systems, 17% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

The combined impact is substantial: Rowville's solar community avoids an estimated 14,287 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 6,803 cars off the road or powering around 2,857 average Australian homes with clean electricity. This is estimated using Victoria's average grid emissions intensity of 980 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
